Nobel Prize in Physics 2021
Congratulations to Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann and Girogio Parisi – the 2021 Nobel Prize laureates in physics. The Nobel Prize in Physics 2021 was awarded “for groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems” with one half jointly to Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann “for the physical modelling of Earth’s climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming” and the other half to Giorgio Parisi “for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales.”
